Hi, and welcome to the forum !

As you have not specified if you already copied the agent to your system i will take it from the start:
(all below is done via commandline and as root or prepend commands with sudo if you have this mechanism in place)

  1. make sure you have the wget package available on the system you want to install the agent on, if not install it with apt install wget
  2. Find the download link of the Debian package in your CheckMK server via sidebar menu → Setup → Subsection Agents → Linux
  3. copy link location of the ‘Packaged Agent ending with .deb’
    image
  4. On to the box you wish to install the agent on issue via command-line wget <paste the previously copied link here>(in my case it will give this link: https://monitor.mydomain.tld/mysitename/check_mk/agents/check-mk-agent_2.2.0p34-1_all.deb)
  5. If wget complains about certificates add --no-check-certificate to the command.
  6. After the agent has been downloaded successfully, install it with dpkg -i check-mk-agent_your_version_used.deb
  7. The agent should be installed successfully now.

Happy Monitoring !
